Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who emerged as the messiah of migrant workers during the COVID-19 lockdown, shared a message for his fans on Mahashivratri 2021. The ‘Dabangg’ star requested his followers and well-wishers to help the needy people on the auspicious festival rather than forwarding Lord Shiv’s pictures.


"Celebrate Maha Shivratri by helping someone instead of forwarding Lord Shiva's images. Om Namah Shivay,” Sood tweeted. While the ‘R Rajkummar’ actor posted the tweet to wish his fans on Maha Shivratri 2021, several trolls expressed their displeasure over his choice of words.
